Robert Michael BallantyneFighting the Whales (May 2, 2007)

Would you like to try our new video/audio player ? (beta!)

LibriVox recording of Fighting The Whales, by Robert Michael Ballantyne. Read by Lee Elliott.

A fatherless boy joins the crew of a whaling ship in order to earn a living for himself and his mother. Beyond being a fascinating depiction of a now-alien time, occupation, and culture, it's also a rousing adventure story. One is left with the impression that hunting and catching a whale in a sailing ship was akin to you or me being stalked, ambushed, and killed by a shoebox full of mice. (Summary by Lee.)
